For Sale by Owner
It seems a lot of people are turning to for sale by owner listings as the housing market slows. It seems the lure of saving thousands of dollars is a huge incentive for sellers. The real trick is trying to get buyers to search for these properties.
Obares.com is starting to fill that gap. They are one of the newer FSBO sites that seem to be getting lots of search engine traffic. Obares.com is offering free real estate listings and they have some tools to help you in the processes. Buyers they didn’t forget you either you can use their free mortgage calculator or browse articles on how to pick the right property.
A few days ago Zillow announced they are jumping into the listing market offering agents and homeowners free listings. This will give a little more competition to the FSBO sites but ultimately helps home buyers.
